Gu An held the Demon Extermination Hall token and did not refuse. Looking at Lu Jiujia, he smiled in gratification. "Not bad. You've become the person you wanted to be back then."
Hearing this, Lu Jiujia felt even more delighted. He smiled and said, "The past few years really were like treading on thin ice. I didn't dare contact you because I was afraid of implicating you. Now that the rain has passed and the sky has cleared, we can keep in touch more often."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lu Jiujia hurried away with his men, saying they had to capture Demonic Path spies.
Gu An watched his retreating back, his feelings slightly complicated.
The Demon Extermination Hall had a terrible reputation. It was not only the most powerful hall in the Outer Sect, but also the most hated. It was said that once someone offended the Demon Extermination Hall, all it had to do was pin the charge of being a Demonic Path spy on them, and that person was doomed.
Gu An clearly sensed the surrounding people casting disgusted, hostile looks his way.
He stopped dwelling on it and turned to leave.
Half an hour later.
He arrived at Third Medicine Valley. As soon as he reached the entrance, he saw Elder Tian standing before the Stone Stele, one hand tugging at his beard as though lost in thought.
Over the years, Gu An had become familiar with Elder Tian. Elder Tian behaved very much like a Handyman Disciple; neither Zhen Qin, Su Han, nor Ye Yan had noticed anything unusual about him, and Gu An treated him as one as well.
"Elder Tian, why are you standing here?" Gu An greeted him as he walked over.
Elder Tian looked at Gu An with a kind smile.
